    ›
    Friday Podcasts  //  July 31, 2015  //  By Linnea Bennett

    “Compare those societies that respect women and those who don’t,” says Texas A&M Professor Valerie Hudson, quoting former USAID Deputy Administrator Donald Steinberg, in this week’s podcast. “Who’s trafficking in weapons and drugs?
